Supervising Adults:The National Dinosaur Museum requests 2 supervising adults for parties up to 10 children, and minimum 3 adults for parties up to 20, to remain with the party guests at all times. These adults are admitted free of charge and allow for adequate supervision of the children as well as assistance with bathroom visits etc.
8. Responsibility for Behaviour:The National Dinosaur Museum is not responsible for the discipline of children attending the party. Our party host will facilitate party activities, but the person booking the party and other supervising adults must be responsible for all children at all times. If behaviour becomes unacceptable and children do not respond to directions, the party will be suspended. The National Dinosaur Museum is not responsible for the care of any children outside the scheduled party time and is not responsible for collection of the children after the party. Party guests must vacate the party room at the end of the allocated time period and remain under the supervision of adults until they have all been collected.
9. Safety:We consider the safety of our guests of primary importance whilst attending a party. The use of party poppers or sparklers and piñatas during parties is not permitted and the National Dinosaur Museum will not be liable for injuries as a result of the use of either item at a party. Candles are permitted. A first aid kit is available, and all staff are aware of its location. All accidents are recorded into a log and parents with duty of care will be notified. Fire exits are well marked and staff are trained in evacuation procedures.
